It's still too warm for the fishing to really pick up on the Truckee

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Seems like Indian Summer has kicked in. Usually does this time of year. Nights are cool and getting longer, and fishing is improving on the Truckee River. Still a bit warm in the afternoons, but mornings are perfect. Fish seem to be chowing on small crayfish, small baitfish, stones, and baetis. Look down at your feet, that will give you a clue. Really though, the

Learn all the Secrets of the Truckee from Gilligan

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

I think being a good guide means keeping no secrets. I share everything. All my secret spots, all my flies, and techniques. I keep nothing from anyone who comes on a guided trip. I don't save water to go fish with my friends the next day, or take people to the same generic place that everyone else goes. Around here that would be the Glenshire

The flows are down on the Truckee & there are the same number of fish, now is a good time to fish

Truckee River

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Although nighttime air temperatures have been way cooler the last couple of weeks around the town of Truckee, daytime temperatures have still been very warm. This has kept the water temps. up and slowed the normal fall changes to the fishing. The flows have been cut way back out of Lake Tahoe and most of the water in the system is coming from Boca Reservoir.

Look for more Brown Trout during the fall fishing

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Labor Day weekend has come and gone, the unofficial end of summer. The beginning of good fall fishing on the Truckee River has begun.

Look for the water to get drastically low through Truckee down to the inlet of the Little Truckee River at Boca in

Now the real fishing begins on the Truckee

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

The party's over. Labor Day weekend has come and gone. The unofficial end of summer. Hirschdale was a ghost town today. If you did come up to the Truckee-Tahoe area thanks for visiting and patronising local businesses. Hopefully, you managed to stick a few on the Truckee River. Now the real fishing begins. Not that we were playing around or anything, but fall is always

The Pyramid Lake (NV) prognostication

Pyramid Lake

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Pyramid opens to fishing again on October 1st. Although it can be really good right out of the gate, it usually gets better sometime in November as the water temperatures cool. Schools of Tui Chubs cruise the lake and kind of help predict where the fish might be. Fall is the time of year that you have to find bait and fish and move around

As the fall rolls around, look for the Brown trout to be more active on the Truckee

Truckee River

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The flows on the Truckee have been very consistent all summer. There is still plenty of water storage in Lake Tahoe so look for the water conditions to be very similar through September. As the water cools and the summer traffic settles down, look for the water to get cleaner and clearer than ever. The river is already starting to take on a

As August moves on Truckee River fishing should improve

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Glad that August is almost over. The heat, early wake up calls, crowds, rafters. August is my least favorite month to be a guide on the Truckee River. We do get some nice fish, but it's a hard month to consistently find fish. They get on the move. One day they're there, the next day they're not. They go looking for cool water, they eat

Nights have cooled and the fishing has picked up on the Truckee River.

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

I think I've made it through the dog days of August. Morning lows in the Hirsch are in the high 30's once again. Bring a jacket if you start early. You'll be in the shade and in the wind early morning anywhere in the canyons. Both sides are fishing well. The prolific hatches of early summer are gone. Not as many bugs on the

Sometimes the Truckee River kicks out some monsters, like this 30 inch Brown Trout

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Robert got this baby on his third cast today. Sometimes the Truckee River kicks some monsters out. 30 inches of brown trout. Robert put the wood to this monster and we landed him before the fish took off into fast water. Good job Robert. Nights have cooled, and the river is starting to fish again.
